MORELO factory visit 2023 (1 Viewer)

[funflair]

I love Isetta's but that car is so obviously plastic it looks like a wheelie bin with windows. Does it look any better with the door closed?

Don't think so, I walked past it this morning but didn't take much notice.


As promised but not a good picture,

Mercedes AMG GTR as a runabout

Wow!! That looks like a lot of complicated ironmongery to get it in and out.

 

[funflair]

Sorry WESTY66 I forgot to PM you the door code but we are down safe and sound anyway

At some considerable expense I can bring you MORELO from the air, or should we call it an overview.

This isn't a video, it's just a screen shot from the video above that may or may not play

I’m thinking Matchbox

Think they are reserved for the UK market

 

[funflair]

So

A slide out doesn't really float my boat but if you want a bit more lounge space, go for it.

This has been wrapped, different but doesn't bear too closer scrutity.

Need I say anything

It was the official opening tonight and was basically all in German but subtitles on the screen so we got the idea, 789 motorhomes and 2360 people, now that would need more than a couple of marshall's

That is three battery to battery boosters, the guy was obviously quite proud of his van so he left the locker door opens for saddo's like me to take photo's and drool over it.

Please keep the pictures coming I’m sure it’s just not me enjoying them thanks

OK you asked for it

You would't miss this one on a club site for sure.

This is just one of the lines of MORELO, with the odd interloper thrown in.

It's like a motorhome show as you walk around the factory, this is the stand from Meier who do all the chassis prep work for MORELO and a few others, they are showing all the different option of fuel tanks, retarder, gas tank brackets, wheel spacers, hydraulic jacks, full air and active air suspension etc etc, basically just a few things options you might want to tick when you order a van built to your spec.

Going to have a cycle ride to Concorde and PhoeniX today so expect some more photo's later.

 

[Flairy]

Thankyou can’t get enough

Well if push comes to shove I’ll take the AMG GTR I bet it’s only the 4.0ltr turbo model

Would I let you down? Well I nearly did when the queue wasn’t moving



And cheaper than I thought it might be.

Cycled down the road to Concorde,

Mercedes based Cruiser,

The hob is Solgaz, gas under ceramic, very neat and supposed to be very efficient on gas use compared to an open burner.

Car garage liner model so you get a big island bed over the garage,

Charisma model on IVECO daily,

Credo 740H nice van at just 7.5 metres but on the lightweight 50C chassis, you can still have the 3 litre with 8 speed ZF so should go well,

Self explanatory really,

And finally a few random shots in PhoeniX, of the three manufacturers around Aschbach/Schlusselfeld PhoeniX make a lot more Alkoven models than the other two and they also do quite a few rear lounges.

 

[Flairy]

MORE please

 

[funflair]

MORE please

How about something completely different

A prosecco carriage ride through the Franconian countryside, free to register and prosecco included.

Had a walk down to Phoenix when our van was in for repairs last year, wasn’t that impressed with the small model they do maybe the larger ones are a bit better

To be fair to Martin, he was on an errand

1800kg and 460bhp Mercedes Actros with a car garage, induction hob in the kitchen and electric cooker and grill.

View attachment 753902

This is what 1360 ah of lithium looks like to run it all but it has a built in generator as well, your for just over €800k

Very nice but lacking horsepower …..

 

[funflair]

This morning we are doing a guided bike ride for electric bikes, then in the afternoon the factory tour so expect some more "incoming" after that

Loved the interior in the liner but €200k plus for a credo??
Any idea which gearbox do you get if you dont tick for the ZF? Is a manual still available?

I think you need to change that to €300+ for a Credo Jon, €296 plus any options.

You have to pay for top quality

My reading was €192k start price with €100k of "extras" on that vehicle, of course most of the extras are what most of us would consider essentials but not everyone would want levellers, I would rather have steel wheels etc

If I wanted top quality I would be buying an older liner on MAN chasssis

Yes I may not have read it correctly.

i agree with your last bit but add an older Concorde on an Iveco chassis to it.
